If I were them, I'd issue a public announcement saying something like this incident has made us aware of the need to upgrade our surveillance cameras from the 1960's Zapruder era quality images that we were able to capture and will be replacing them with expensive state-of-the-art cameras that will actually record a useful image in order to insure the safety of our patrons.
That way if they ever need to identify anyone in the future, they wouldn't have grainy, next to useless images that encourage people to try and match images of half of the people in the phone book to them.
Prayer going up for your friends, Zerosix. Not the ending I was praying for at all.
Don’t let the race baiters get to you. It’s not every day the abduction of someone is captured on video surveillance giving the police and media a great lead to possibly getting someone back before a tragic outcome.
Again, my prayers to the family. I hope you are able to comfort your friends.
That’s good news if they’ve ID’d this murderer.
Prayers for Kelsey’s family, friends, and her whole community.
It is really disgusting posters would call Natalle hallaway ‘ a dumb bimbo that got drunk” or that another one says “don’t wear tank tops, you’re asking for it.”
Rape and murder is NOT about sex. It is about rage and control. That’s why women who are grandmothers sleeping in their granny gowns get raped and fat women, and attractive or not attractive women and skinny women all get raped.
According to YOUR theories these women’asked for it.” That is revolting. But then, maybe women in America should be wearing Burkas ( uh, lets find out what your dress code would be..enlighten us). Or maybe Dumb bimbos in tank tops should be stoned if someone rapes them...
disappointed in these Freepers. shame on you! We protect women here, not shame or demean them.
I was assaulted wearing jeans and an oversized sweatshirt... Luckily, I had taken self-defense when I was younger and knew how to break out of the guy’s hold on me.
How is that different than saying a woman was raped because of what she wore??? That kind of attitude, IMHO, only gives an excuse to the mind of one of these offenders, and doesn’t serve to help any of us who have been assaulted, either. You’re right, there is NEVER a proper time to say something like that.
THANK YOU!!! (See post #185).
Here is the thing. We do not live under a rock in the US. There are rapes, abductions, and murders everyday and we hear about them through the news. If my daughter who is 23, left a bar with a stranger in another country or this coutnry for that matter and was murdered, I would blame the murderer. In addition I would forever mourn her stupidity and recklessness.
You could be right. Not being a rapist or a murderer myself I really don't know what goes on in their minds but I am more apt to believe it has something to do with sin. Near as I can tell it takes a pretty sick and twisted individual to harm innocent people regardless their sex.
My prayers go out to all those affected by the Kelsey Smith tragedy and I pray that there is a super special place in hell for all those that rip out the hearts of so many people by killing a loved one for absolutely NO reason. If after Judgment day comes God sets up a revenge squad I for sure want to be a member of it.
That's all I have to say on this matter. :-(
here is a thread I put up a while ago but it’s valid and won’t cease to be

You are right. Justice is needed and if not here, they will face ultimate justice.
Goes with out saying.
No young gals go out alone untill they get this creep.
Can you imagine those who have been on that nature trail in the last 4 days?
If he did it once he is likely to fuel his evil fire.
and thank you for supporting reason and education...something that our daughters and their families all need more than ever.
Word!
3 Male over protective Labs and 2 knives hidden but in reach bedside along with a 3 ball morning star and yes I can use it well.

How sad.
Let’s strap him into ole’ Sparky with a dry sponge(i.e. Green Mile).

For what it’s worth, Alfonso Rodriguez, Jr, is Hispanic, but a Texas-born American citizen who’s lived in Minnesota for many years: http://www.startribune.com/10086/story/528564.html
Isn’t OP supposed to be safe though?
Surely people will write this one off as a one-time thing and not really alter shopping habits. I wouldn’t.
This isn’t downtown KC.
But, it is frightening this happened in the suburbs.
